Hua Hin Immigration making it difficult to get emergency extension.

Recommended Posts

My wife and I (both English) visited Hua Hin IO last week and were told to get the 30 day extension we needed the letter from the British Embassy. We now have that letter and visited the IO today. The hoops that you have to jump through to get this extension are incredible. Instruction form being handed out is below. They are clearly making this up as they go along as the map requirement was added by hand as we waited there. They also want a print out of the email received from the Embassy.

We rent a house and the owner lives in Switzerland so despite having a rental agreement we cannot meet the other requirements re: ID & house book.

There appears to be no recognition that this is a worldwide crisis affecting millions of people, all the Immigration Officer repeated was “ must have all forms to send to Head Office”, sadly this is all too believable. After extensive stays for the past 10 years I doubt I’ll be back, Thailand’s tourist industry is killing itself.
